Mandrill merge labels not working for my template

I have spent quite a lot of time on this and still cannot figure it out.

Here is my template that I saved in mandrill-> outbound-> templates

Hello *|USERNAME|*

this is a *|TEMPNAME|* template

And here is the message I am making from the command line

curl -A 'Mandrill-Curl/1.0' -d 
'{"key":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX","template_name":"testTemp","template_content" : [],
 "message": {"to": [{"email": "raghu.iitr@gmail.com", "name": "Raghvendra Singh", 
 "type": "to"}], "merge": true, 
 "merge_vars": [{"rcpt":"raghu.iitr@gmail.com",
 "vars":[{ "content:": "random template", "name": "TEMPNAME" }, { "content:": "raghu", "name": "USERNAME" }]}] }}'
 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send-template.json'

I get the following answer

[{"email":"raghu.iitr@gmail.com","status":"sent","_id":"9015df4d0b1b457588670863c7303822","reject_reason":null}]

But the email that I receive does not combine the variable, and here is the email that I receive

Hello *|USERNAME|* this is a *|TEMPNAME|* template

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help really really appreciated

It looks like you made a typo in JSON. "content:": "random template"should be "content": "random template", but "content:": "raghu"should be "content": "raghu". There should not be a colon after the content inside the quotes.
